Hold Fast 04:15
There on the moor His cape lay still Sun-bleached, worn Material I can remember when A thousand miles Was just beyond the garden wall We could escape there then To become whoever we wanted to be We were kites Rising high Pulling twine Till you were blown away ‘Cause I remember when A thousand eons Lay across the fence, waiting to be explored With capes around our necks We ruled an empire And as we ran, yours fell to the ground These changes are forever Times move on, we fade away And like cotton slowly fraying The circle never sways I fly your kite Rising high Pulling twine Till I am blown away They are kites Rising high Pulling twine Through the people who remain

Beat In Time 04:38
All the people that you loved Well they were with you when you died Although the going was rough And all the newspapers lied All your closest knew That they were not right ‘Cause all of these things you were going to do Well I’m going to live out your time for you And your old drums lying in your room Well I’m going to beat them in time for you In time for you Here’s the thing about love It’s in love you’re made and in love you die And here’s the thing about life Although it didn’t feel like your time You will live on through Through the people that you left behind ‘Cause all of these things you were going to do Well I’m going to lay them in line for you And your old drums lying in your room Well I’m going to beat them in time for you In time for you The last time I saw you The moment was so confused And through it all The pressure has took its toll But one thing I now know You’ll still be here to break my fall And I will do you proud The one way that I know how ‘Cause all of these plans we had yet to see through Well I’m going to lay them in line for you And your guitar is pulling me through And we’re going to strum out a tune or two A song for you

The Artist 04:20
See the artist’s empty smile Well it’s been there for a while You know his wife died in a car And it nearly broke his heart He puts a face on every day Afraid of what the kids might say It’s time to sing a different song To feel he belongs The artist smiles and says hello ‘Cause he’s trying hard to leave it aside Just to let it go See the artist say hello ‘Cause he’s trying hard to leave it aside Just to let it go Behind his smile-lined disguise He tries to ease the mind Self depiction on the page Cartoon man with cartoon rage And where the soul can bleed Beneath thread holding the seams Can be hard to see So tread compassionately

As I was walking yesterday I came to a river crossing my way There I found my peace of mind Time to escape from the everyday grind Pavement cracks beneath my feet As I was wondering through these streets Building blocks reach to the sky But stars are blind to every eye There beneath the urban sky Where our lives are lived and died Do you feel unhinged but you can’t say why? It’s a silent reminder of our times A call to those who do not know We will reap what we will sow Do you hear our call For our peace of mind? Beauty marred by a showing bone Because these houses can never be homes Gold lies thick across the sand Drowning greed to meet the demand Truth sets seed and truth will grow Till it sets alight the streets with boughs Primeval kiss will thaw hearts soon Love will grow and life will bloom A mindless state Or poverty Conscience disappeared We’ll make our mark Cause here we stand For society
